R2:2013 Delistment Policy

SERI maintains a directory of R2:2013 Certified facilities on the “Find a Recycler” page of sustainableelectronics.org. The directory includes facilities that have a R2:2013 Certification in good standing with both SERI and their Certifying Body.

SERI maintains close communication with all Certifying Bodies and will work with them to maintain the accuracy of the public directory of R2:2013 Certified facilities.

The following are grounds for removal from SERI’s public directory, as well as suspension by a Certifying Body.

Unresolved non-conformances to any of the provisions of the R2 Standard.

Violations of the terms of the R2 licensing agreement.

Failure to sign and pay the annual R2 licensing agreement and invoice by a facility’s required license renewal date.

Prior to removal from the directory, SERI will contact an offending facility by email and/or telephone in an effort to resolve the issue.

Removed facilities may no longer advertise their facility as R2 Certified.
